Marna — girls' name

What the Data Says About Marna

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,678 babies named Marna between 1913 and 2001, spanning 89 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Marna currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2001. The name reached its historical peak in 1947, when 77 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marna performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 573 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Marna shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 168 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Ohio and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Marna in 12 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marna in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,678 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
